Desperate to do anything other than bodywork. Here is the latest avoidance activity.
Ferrari have two knobs on the valve covers. They are just grab knobs and the cover is actually secured by bolts around the base. Two of the four centre line securing bolts on the LS1 line up close enough with the Ferrari grab knobs so I've made up some items to make it all work. I just hope there is enough pressure to seal the cover sufficiently.
I used the spacer from the original LS1 covers
Replica Ferrari knobs are about $40 each, plus postage. I got 20 delivered to my door from China for $9:41. I used a vice, a hammer and a bastard file to create a knurl on the knob.
All done.
I painted the covers with crinkle black and they looked awful. I've taken it all off and might try crinkle finish powder coating.
